Estadio BBVA — the famous "Giant of Steel" home to Club de Futbol Monterrey — opens its doors during the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a special program of World Cup tourism tours from June 8 to July 19. This is the unique chance to discover one of the Americas' most spectacular stadiums from the inside, with guided tours in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, access to the presidential suite, FIFA national team locker rooms, players' tunnel, and press mixed zone.
The tours are designed to leverage the World Cup's presence: they include a special exhibition on tournament history, official FIFA memorabilia, VAR penalty simulators, and the official mascots Maple, Zayu, and Clutch available for photos. The full route lasts 90 minutes in groups of up to 25 people.
For World Cup tourists, families, corporate groups, and fans who want to experience the "home" of historic 2026 matches, the BBVA tour is a must. Executive transport simplifies logistics, especially for groups with children or seniors.

Getting to BBVA Outside Match Days
On non-match days during the World Cup, BBVA access flows much more smoothly than during matches. Typical times:
From MTY Airport: 30-45 min. From San Pedro: 25-35 min. From Valle Oriente: 25-40 min. From Downtown Monterrey: 20-30 min. From Carretera Nacional / Distrito Tec: 20-30 min.
Stadium parking: available and affordable outside match days. However, executive transport eliminates the friction of driving, finding a spot, and walking in the Monterrey sun (which can exceed 35°C in June).
Tour access: BBVA main entrance via Av. Pablo Livas, welcome plaza featuring the iconic Rayados sculpture. Executive drop-off 50 meters from the pedestrian access.
